32 Anyone who aspeaks a word against the Son of Man, bit will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.  

A Tree Known by Its Fruit

33 “Either make the tree good and aits fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.  
34 aBrood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? bFor out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  
35 A good man out of the good treasure1 of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.  
36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Matthew 12:34:

Matthew 12:34-35

The word abundance here, Strong's 4051, perisseuma, meaning a surplus, a superabundance that was left over, over and above. Thayer adds that in which one delights, of that which fills the heart and that which is left over or remains.

Now the Greek word translated treasure in verse 35 is Strong's G2344, thēsauros, meaning a deposit, the place in which good and precious things are collected and laid up like a coffer, a receptacle, a treasury, a storehouse, a repository, or in our analogy, a bucket.
